About This Course
Learn how to access JSON data through APIs and then manipulate the data in your application.
In this course we will take a step-by-step approach to learning how to handle JSON data, how to connect to APIs, and how to work with Google Maps. We will learn how to create a CodePen account and cover the basic set up of the apps and then we will dive right into coding our applications! We will start with creating basic HTML elements and then move to using the jQuery getJSON() method to grab JSON data. In the final lectures, we will build a "Location App" that uses the Google Maps API. Along the way you will learn several important topics, including:
HTML and CSS
for loops
objects
JSON
APIs
Google Maps API
jQuery
And much more!
There are only two things that you need to take this course: an internet connection and a computer. There is no need to download any paid software or set up complex development environments.
The course is about 2 hours long and is structured in a step-by-step manner, from simple to more difficult concepts. We build the various applications from the ground up and cover each new feature one at a time - so you will never feel overwhelmed with the content.
With the knowledge gained in this course you can move forward and build more complex applications, and use the main "Location App" you created at the end of this course to add to your portfolio.
I hope to hear from you soon, and look forward to having you in my course!

Tila's Application Programming Interface (API) course offers a comprehensive and engaging learning experience. It was a very hands-on experience involving the delivery of JSON data with jQuery, primarily integrating the application data from external sources with a front-end delivery. The project provides a balance of challenge and applicability, fostering a sense of accomplishment and continuous engagement. Thanks very much
